Kim:

Overseeing the Houston Hub of the Non-human Community comes with challenges I couldn’t have predicted even if I’d bothered looking into my own future. Pixies and gods are dropping all around me, and trying to pin down the person responsible is giving me a headache. When Ryan Reinhardt barrels into my life, I’m too busy and too distracted to give in to his flirting, but Ryan’s not the type to let me ignore him. No matter what else is happening, Ryan can turn every eye toward him–if that’s what he wants. He’s personable, charismatic, and fun–everything I’m not, but for some reason, Fate has chosen me for him. Fear isn’t an emotion I’m very familiar with, but mating Ryan? That scares me more than the Diviner trying to turn Houston to rubble.

Ryan:

It takes me less than a day to turn the non-human community on its head. Scratch that, I have this community jumping to obey within four hours. I didn’t mean to target their overseer; I had no intention of getting involved at all, but the moment I laid eyes on Kim Marduke, I knew he was the one for me. Fated mates; it’s a non-human thing apparently. I may not have planned to become the queen of Houston, but I’m nothing if not adaptable. Fighting against an insane Diviner might get us all killed, but fighting for him to preserve my mate bond? Well, I can’t complain if I don’t exist. The Void is calling, and we’re all going to answer the summons.

This is NOT A STANDALONE and it has a not-really-a-cliffhanger ending. This book is the third book of the Shattered Pawns series and should be read in order. This is an MM paranormal romance with BDSM themes between consenting adult partners with a significant age-gap. Triggers include one scene of religious homophobia, very mild violence against a homosexual teen, and war.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Almost ‘the end’
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022

    Need to know- this is the 3rd book of 4. You *must* read books one and two first. (This is also a spin-off from the Diviner’s Game series. Reading the first series is not absolutely necessary but will greatly improve your understanding and enjoyment of this story.)

    This time around we follow Kim and Ryan through their part of the journey and boy did the author save the best for (almost) last. There is so much more going on than we thought. A whole other layer to this story. And it’s kind of heartbreaking but in a “it saves everyone and they all get a HEA” kind of way.
    This is a huge read because there is a lot we need to know but it’s so wonderfully written, so full of detail, and honestly, some pretty hot sex. It’s well worth the extra time. I’ve already read it twice and I’m definitely keeping it on my ‘to read again’ list.

    Just keep remembering- they get married Dec 1st ;)

    I’m not entirely sure that I understand why this book didn’t come before the prior one. The time travel was completely confusing in this book and I don’t really know how what I just read syncs up with everything we already know.

    Having said that, I love the dynamic between Ryan and Kim. I love that Ryan knows what he wants, and what Kim needs, despite being so much more inexperienced in life. I am curious to see how Den and his mate fit into things, an what that means, in the bigger picture.

    This is a fast ride. I mean a nonstop rollercoaster of emotions, action and answers. But non the less we still have no real ending. We do have all the players for sure. I'm about to go to the next book and to the end of this never ending war. All I have left to say is that I love this series. Heck this universe that Jennifer Cody has pulled me into.

    Thank you again, Jennifer Cody. I appreciate you and love all your books so far.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I need the next book
    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022

    I need the next book right now! I love how much thought is put into how the characters would actually live in their world. How a lack of structure in their leaders would affect them and how improvements happen. How having powers isn’t always a blessing and can’t save everyone.
    When something a little off happens I know it’s coming back out to play later. Characters, powers, motifs it’s all getting used.
    This series is the long game plot but with sex and I’m so here for all of it. Even when it’s not your kink you love it because it’s so important to the growth of the characters and their love.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Another great addition to this series
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022
    Book 3 in the Shattered Pawns series continues to feed us information from the previous two novels (you need to read in order), adding on to what we experienced in the previous two books, we also get to know Ryan aka The Queen of Houston and Kim Aka The King and Overseer of The Hub. I really liked both of these characters, and it was good to see how they got together.

    Their Dom/Sub dynamics was an interesting one, I can't say it was my favourite of the different relationship dynamics of the two series, but I did enjoy seeing how it worked for both Ryan and Kim and what each got from the dynamic. I loved that Ryan could see Kim for who he was, really see him in ways no one else had ever done and how Kim responded to Ryan being able to see him.

    I liked learning about Ryan's background and how his species of Titan Pixie came about. I loved his reaction when he found out who one of his parents was, it really did show what a beautiful heart he has.

    Finding out who the man in the mirror was put a spin on things I wasn't expecting and I'm really looking forward to the final book in this series where we find out how he came to be how he was and find out more about the relationship he has with Den.

    I cannot emphasize how good this series is and how much I can't wait until Shah Mat comes out later this year!

    Okay, I got sucked into Shattered Pawns even though cliffhangers aren’t my thing, the characters are just beautifully built. However, there’s sooo many questions and theories and what-if’s floating at the end of Book 3 I literally yelled at my Kindle app during the last couple pages. Yes, what happens had me having a stern conversation with an inanimate electronic device. Ryan and Kim’s story is so beautiful that it’s heart-wrenching and now I absolutely have to read the next one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great plot, interesting characters, keeps you on the edge of your seat
    Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2022

    This book has it all, interesting characters, plot twists and high heat.
    This is the third book in a four book series, and the author shows the action from Kim and Ryan's perspective this time. The timeline of this book is slightly longer than the previous books in the series so we get a touch deeper into the war.
    Despite a bit of a cliff hanger at the end (all will be reveled in the final book), there is a HFN ending for Ryan and Kim.
    You should definitely read the previous books in the series, or you may be a bit lost. The book dives right into the action without a synopsis of what happened previously. In fact, I would recommend reading the author's previous series "The Diviner's Game" as those characters and those previous events are integral to this continuing story.
    I received an ARC in return for my honest review and I have to say I loved this series and this book.
